If I Needed You There

To see you reach from the stairs saying,

“I know this consumes me,”

Pour out on radio flyer color of fucked up and groovy.

I could just cry like a child

While kind of watching some movie about I’d like you to care

If I needed you there.

So we should go to the park, the one that’s flooded and ugly.

We should meet there tonight

Where nearly everything’s sunken into the earth

As it turns toward a whorish instruction

Something I’d like you to share

If I needed you there.
